Newt's speechwriter has lengthy list of creds-Patriot/Militia Christian identity leader, Tea Party,
Council of Conservative Citizens, etc, etc...

Part of the attempted mitigation was to blame the media, specifically Meet the Press moderator David Gregory for asking the question that caused Gingrich to call the Paul Ryan Medicare voucher plan "right-wing social engineering." But when the Huffington Post asked Ginrich media spokester Rick Tyler about the media's role in Gingrich's bad week, they received this unbelievable self-parody of a reply:

According to today’s Neo cons, there are no racists or extremists among them. No, you are just seeing things when you see lawyer Howard Fezell wear a t-shirt during an anti-immigration rally that reads “Viva la raza blanca” (“Long live the white race”), or when Ron Paul keeps the $500 donation to his campaign from Stormfront, or when people shoot abortion doctors and security guards at Holocaust Museums. Of course, all the puppeteers behind the scenes are figments of your liberal imagination as well, trying to sully the name of good people like Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin. When actress/comedian Janeane Garofalo referred to those participating in the April 15 anti-tax “tea parties” as “ a bunch of racists” neo-cons everywhere had a collective heart attack, and went after her. Perhaps the reason why she enjoyed the BS coming from their attacks on her was because she knew that while Greg Gutfield of the very seldom-watched Faux News show Red Eye asked “Where is the evidence to back up Garafolo’s claims?” Exhibit A was running the tea party in Pensacola, Florida.

That would be Rick Tyler, who might be best known among those who know him as the host of a shortwave/internet radio show called “Voice of Liberty”, and at one time ran a group called the Georgia Taxpayers Association. If things were that semi-benign, he would have simply been someone to watch. The reason why we focus on him in particular, however is because it is waaaaay too obvious what this scumbag’s about for people to pretend otherwise.

Much of Rick Tyler’s info goes back to that whole Patriot/Militia crowd of the nineties. He was leading something out of Epworth, Georgia called the Church of the Remnant which according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, this church is a Christian Identity Church. For the uninitiated is a religion that believes that whites are the chosen people, all other races are “mud races” and the Jews descended from Satan. He also was a part of a group called Citizens for a Constitutional Georgia, which also had racist and anti-Semitic leanings. That might have been a lot of fun for the folks over at the Council of Conservative Citizens, which tries to pretend they like Jewish people, since he was also their Georgia State Chairman.

1. Colbert should have John Lithgow as a full time Newt speech reader.

5. Yeah, those things he doesn't have to outsource.
He got them down pat.

Saves on staff salaries doing that stuff in-house.
